Alleged coup plot: DSS grills VeryDarkMan
The Department of State Services, DSS, has grilled popular social media influencer Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, over a leaked video connected to the ongoing coup plot trial.
The development followed an order by Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja, who demanded a probe into how the restricted footage made its way into the public domain.
The video footage was presented as evidence in the trial of suspects accused of attempting to overthrow President Bola Tinubu’s government, a case that dates back to the arrests of several individuals in 2024.
The Director of Public Prosecutions, Rotimi Oyedepo, during court proceedings on June 23, 2026, and 24, 2026, informed the court that the restricted video was circulating on VeryDarkMan’s social media platforms, violating an earlier court order that restricted its distribution.
Speaking on the encounter, VeryDarkMan revealed that he underwent hours of questioning before being released in the early hours of the morning.
“I got home around 2 a.m. this morning after spending hours at the DSS office, where I was interrogated and investigated over a video I posted four days ago,” VeryDarkMan said.
